  • a typical radio access network covers a geographical area typically having a plurality of cell areas. Each cell area is served by at least one base station, which in UMTS and LTE may be referred to as a Node B and enhanced-Node B (eNB) respectively.
  • the base stations communicate at radio frequencies over an air interface with the UEs within range of the base stations.
  • Several base stations may be connected to a radio network controller (RNC), in UTRAN systems, which control various activities of the base stations.
  • RNC radio network controller
  • the radio network controllers are typically connected to a core network.
  • a dedicated physical channel (DPCH) for downlink and uplink has been defined in Standard releases.
  • High speed packet access (HSPA) protocols have been defined to improve the performance of transport channels, i.e. to increase capacity and throughout and reduce delay.
  • HSPA is an amalgamation of two mobile telephony protocols, High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) and High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA), that extend and improves the performance of existing W-CDMA protocols.
  • HSUPA uses an uplink enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) on which it employs link adaptation methods similar to those employed by High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA).
  • E-DCH uplink enhanced dedicated channel
  • HSDPA High-Speed Downlink Packet Access
  • a further 3GPP Standard is Evolved HSPA (also known as HSPA+).
  • the network operators choose to allocate separate frequencies for connected (CONN) and IDLE mode operations. Similar allocations can be performed between DPCH operation for circuit switched services such as voice or packet-switched services versus HSPA operations (like HSDPA and E-DCH) for packet-switched services.
  • PCCPCH Primary Control Channel
  • MIB Master Information Block
  • SIB3 System Information Block 3
  • Another alternative is to omit system information (like SIB1) on PCCPCH which will cause a UE to bar the cell.
  • SIB1 system information
  • a UE may be prompted to attempt to camp on a cell on a CONN frequency for a number of reasons, for example of its own initiative, as part of a radio link failure RLF, as part of an unrecoverable RLC or PDCP error, at the request (implicit, such as in RLF, or explicit) of the network in a reconfiguration message taking UE out of CELL_DCH state, an RrcConnectionRelease message, or a message performing inter-RAT redirection to UMTS.
  • a UE may look to camp on a cell as part of circuit-switched (CS) fallback from LTE when the network does not provide UMTS frequency information; this is an example use case for the redirection scenario.
  • CS circuit-switched
  • Section 5.2.7 in Standard 25.304 v10.3.0 describes cell selection when leaving connected mode.
  • the UE When returning to idle mode from connected mode, the UE shall select a suitable cell to camp on.
  • Candidate cells for this selection are the cell(s) used immediately before leaving connected mode. If no suitable cell is found, the UE shall use the stored information cell selection procedure in order to find a suitable cell to camp on.
  • the UE When returning to idle mode after an emergency call on any PLMN, the UE shall select an acceptable cell to camp on.
  • Candidate cells for this selection are the cell(s) used immediately before leaving connected mode. If no acceptable cell is found, the UE shall continue to search for an acceptable cell of any PLMN in state any cell selection.
  • a UE that is not properly directed by the network to a target frequency in CELL_FACH, IDLE or CELL/URA_PCH transition from CELL_DCH connected state, or if it experiences radio link failure, say, may attempt to camp on a cell of CONN frequency, and fail to do so. If the UE is making a transition from CELL_DCH, if the network has not scheduled critical information like SIB1 or MIB, the UE will be caused to bar the cell. The UE may attempt to try a different cell on the same frequency (UARFCN), and fail again to camp on the different cell.
  • URFCN the same frequency
  • the UE can loose considerable time (for instance, 500 ms or more) trying to find a suitable cell in scenarios such as RLF or circuit switched fallback from LTE when the network does not provide any frequencies. If the UE can not find a cell in a reasonable amount of time, the UE can even experience user perceived voice call drops (e.g. where the CellUpdate procedure cannot recover the call from radio link failure). How long it may take can depend upon how many cells there are on the CONN frequency. Whilst the UE is looking for a suitable cell to camp on, the UE can be un-reachable for network paging.

  • a method in a device comprising: if, on a frequency, the device: fails an attempt to camp on a cell, and identifies an indication that the frequency is not allowed for camping; marking the frequency.
  • marking the frequency comprises: storing an indicium in relation to the frequency.
  • the indicium comprises a penalty for future camping attempts on the frequency.
  • attempting to camp on a cell may be using a frequency dependent upon the indicium.
  • the method comprises attempting to camp on a cell using a frequency dependent upon the indicium.
  • attempting to camp on the cell comprises attempting to camp using one or more of the different frequencies in preference to the frequency.
  • the method comprises attempting to camp using a different frequency for a period.
  • the indicium may comprise an indication of information received by the device that the cell is barred for camping; or a failure to receive information required for camping on the cell.
  • the method further comprises storing the indicium in a frequency table.
  • the method includes removing the indicium.
  • the device is operable in a High Speed Packet Access network in which separate frequencies are allocated for connected mode operation, and idle mode operation.
  • the device can be in a connected mode, and attempt to camp on the cell as part of a transition to an idle mode.
  • the device may attempt to camp on a cell as part of: radio link failure; re-direction to circuit switched operation from LTE operation on direction of a network in which the device is operable, without the network indicating a frequency for the circuit switched operation; in GERAN operation where a list of frequencies provided to the device for cell reselection or cell change does not indicate which of the frequencies are for connected or idle mode operation.
  • the attempt to camp on the cell may be part of an inter-RAT, or an intra-RAT transition.
  • a wireless telecommunications device comprising: a processor; and a memory having stored therein one or more routines executable by the processor, the one or more routines being adapted to operate according to the method described.
  • the present approach is concerned with scenarios where a UE attempts to camp on a cell on a frequency and fails, because it is transitioning to non connected mode (or non CELL_DCH) operation and the frequency being used for camping is allocated for connected mode (or CELL_DCH). The UE may then try to camp on another cell of the same connected frequency, and again fail. In the case of radio link failure, the UE may repeatedly attempt to camp on cells on connected frequencies and fail cell selection. In scenarios like this radio link failure, and also for CS fallback from LTE when the network does not provide UMTS frequencies, there is a significant delay for UEs trying to find a suitable cell to camp on.
  • the UE when a camping attempt fails, the UE is arranged to "remember" the frequency on which the failed attempt occurred such that this information can be used by the UE later in further camping attempts.
  • the frequency is stored with an indication ("indicium") such as a penalty, that is used as a discouraging factor for selecting that frequency in preference to others in future camping attempts.
  • the reason for failing to camp may be used to decide whether to penalise the frequency in this way.
  • the present approach is thus a method and apparatus of frequency tagging to accelerate, for example, cell selections.
  • a stored frequency of a failed camping attempt is indicated as "penalised”, so that in future camping attempts, a UE will first try frequencies not marked as penalised in preference.
  • Figure 1 illustrates the approach of example 1, where a UE is in HSPA operation.
  • the frequencies, for connected mode in this HSPA operation are separate to that of IDLE mode operation.
  • the UE is in a HSPA operation such as HSDPA and E-DCH and there is a similar allocation of frequencies for DPCH circuit-switched such as voice, or packet-switched services; or the UE is in non HSPA operation.
  • the UE is in a connected mode state, CELL_DCH, on a CONN frequency, and is prompted to transition out of this state, in step 10.
  • the UE is not otherwise directed by the network to a target frequency that is allowed for camping.
  • the UE may be directed to a target frequency that is allowed for camping.
  • the UE is requested by the network to undergo a transition in this example.
  • the transition may be initiated in other ways, for instance by the UE, or as part of a RLF.
  • the UE is undergoing another type of UE initiated exit from CELL DCH such as Unrecoverable RLC or PDCP error. Another aspect this example is applicable to is exiting from CELL_DCH under UTRAN redirection, when the UTRAN is not properly configured.
  • the transition is from CELL DCH to IDLE.
  • the transition may alternatively be between connected modes e.g. CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH, or URA_PCH.
  • the transition is intra-RAT, although in another aspect, the example extends to inter-RAT transitions.
  • the UE attempts to camp on a cell.
  • the UE uses a list of candidate frequencies in one aspect, for instance, based on RSSI of supported frequencies. In the present example, from these possible candidates, the UE attempts to camp on a cell of the same frequency that it was previously on when in CELL_DCH. If the attempt is successful, the UE camps on the cell in step 60.
  • step 60 camping is successful.
  • the UE in this example, clears any indicia that are stored in relation to the frequency of the camping.
  • the UE moves to step 55. Failure to camp may be for one or more of a number of reasons.
  • the network has explicitly barred the cell in SIB 3 to prevent the UE to attempt to select a cell on CONN frequency.
  • the network may try to achieve this by omitting SIB 1 on PCCPCH so that the cell is barred by the UE.
  • SIB1 system information bock
  • SIB3 an indication in SIB3 say that the cell is explicitly barred and camping on other cells on that frequency is not allowed when this cell is the strongest cell
  • the UE marks the frequency, here by storing an indicium/indication with respect to the frequency.
  • the UE indicates the frequency as "penalised", so that as described below, other frequencies are tried in preference in future camping attempts.
  • the UE when the camping attempt is not successful, and there is no indication that the frequency is not allowed, then the UE does not store an indicium with respect to the frequency. Examples that would not be considered an indication of a frequency not allowed would be where a cell does not satisfy the cell selection criterion S.
  • Figure 2 illustrates the method of this example for future camping attempts of the UE for which one or more a frequencies are marked as penalised, following a failed camping attempt on a frequency.
  • This aspect is a case of general cell selection, where the UE can camp on any cell that is suitable. In another example, the UE will try to camp on a specific cell or on a specific frequency.
  • a UE attempts to camp on a cell on a frequency, where the frequency may, or may not, have been specified by the UTRAN (i.e. there may, or may not, have been a "Frequency info" IE in a message from the UTRAN).
  • the present example is only applicable when the UE has not received an indication from the UTRAN of what frequency to use.
  • step 220 there is a determination of whether there is an untried frequency to attempt camping on that is not a penalized frequency.
  • the UE in this example looks to see if there is an indicium stored in relation to an available frequency.
  • a frequency is considered to be penalised if it is marked as "penalised for RLF or interRAT cell selection", in one example.
  • the UE has thus flagged the frequency with a penalty, where the frequency is a CONN frequency.
  • the UE in 230 looks on a penalized frequency for a cell on which the UE can camp.
  • the UE effectively "remembers" frequencies on which camping attempts have failed in a way indicative that the frequency might not ever allow camping.
  • Figure 3 illustrates the case where following on from step 230 in Figure 2 , the UE is attempting to find a camp on which to camp where there are no untried frequencies not penalised, by looking on a penalized frequency.
  • the UE's attempts to find a cell on which to camp is successful or unsuccessful..
  • the indication of a penalty is removed from storage.
  • the penalty may be removed for a period of time, or be allocated a changed importance level so that the frequency is chosen in preference to other frequencies to a different degree. If camping on is not successful, then in 350, the penalty is retained.
  • the penalty is "graded" such that penalising the frequency for a period measured in terms of time or activity of the UE and/or network.
  • the penalty may be graded so that the frequency in question is not chosen as a preferred frequency to try, but may be chosen in preference to another possible frequency.
  • the present example can be applicable in several problematic scenarios that include:
  • the benefits of the present example include reduced time to camp on cells and improved battery life.
  • Figure 4 shows an overview of a network and a UE device. Clearly in practice there may be many UE devices operating with the network but, for the sake of simplicity, Figure 4 only shows a single UE device 400. For the purposes of illustration, Figure 4 also shows a network 419 having a few components. It will be clear to a person skilled in the art that in practice a network will include far more components than those shown.
  • FIG 4 shows an overview of the radio access network 419 (e.g. E-UTRAN) used in a mobile communications system.

  • the RRC 532 is responsible for controlling the configuration of radio interface Layer 1 510 and Layer 2 520.
  • the RRC layer 532 of the UE decodes this message and initiates the appropriate RRC procedure.
  • the RRC sends a response message to the network (via the lower layers) informing the network of the outcome. It should be noted that there are a few scenarios where the RRC will not issue a response message to the network and, in those cases the RRC need not and does not reply.
  • FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating a mobile device, which can act as a UE and co-operate with the apparatus and method of Figure 1 , and which is an exemplary wireless communication device.

  • Network access requirements will also vary depending upon the type of network 602. For example, in the Mobitex and DataTAC networks, mobile station 600 is registered on the network using a unique identification number associated with each mobile station. In UMTS and GPRS networks, however, network access is associated with a subscriber or user of mobile station 600. A UMTS/GPRS mobile station therefore requires a subscriber identity module (SIM) card or a universal subscriber identity module (USIM) card in order to get service as per subscription. Without a valid SIM/USIM card, a UMTS/GPRS mobile station will not be able to get full service.

  • A/D conversion of a received signal allows more complex communication functions such as demodulation and decoding to be performed in the DSP 620.
  • signals to be transmitted are processed, including modulation and encoding for example, by DSP 620 and input to transmitter 614 for digital to analog conversion, frequency up conversion, filtering, amplification and transmission over the communication network 602 via antenna 616.
  • DSP 620 not only processes communication signals, but also provides for receiver and transmitter control. For example, the gains applied to communication signals in receiver 612 and transmitter 614 may be adaptively controlled through automatic gain control algorithms implemented in DSP 620.
  • Mobile station 600 preferably includes processing means such as a microprocessor 636 which controls the overall operation of the device.
